The question is why does it supervene on the brain and not on the
elbow. What about the brain causes it to "make experiences"? Most
scientists think it is because the brain does computations, i.e.
information processing, which is more extensive and complex that the
elbow does. Which leads to Bruno's argument that if it is the
information processing that produces mind, then mind can be instantiated
by any sufficiently complex computer+program. Since he believes in
arithmetical realism, and since all possible computations exist
implicitly in arithmetic, it follows that all possible thoughts already
exist in arithmetic and we can explain reality as some particular subset
of those thoughts.

The heart* pumps blood.
The brain pumps experiences.
The brain is an experience pump!
* Actually it's more complex: blood cells are made in bone marrow
signaled by the kidneys and recycled by the spleen. Do it's
kidneys+marrow+spleen+heart that make and pump blood. The brain makes
and pumps experiences.
